We’re partnering with Bon Appétit for our upcoming Cultural Celebration, and we want YOUR help!

Do you have a dish that represents your culture, family tradition or heritage? Submit a recipe or menu idea and help us highlight the incredible diversity of our campus community. This will be part of a weeklong celebration of culture leading to the IRC and Res Life-sponsored Cultural Celebration.

We know that food tells stories – stories of home, family, celebration and tradition. We want to know your story! The staff at the Bon are eager to feature dishes that are significant to you so the whole campus can celebrate them together.

Come to the Maker Hub on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 1 to 4 p.m. to make baby blankets for St. Vincent Medical Center.

Materials are provided (or you can bring your own). Please RSVP here so enough materials are available. Donations of yarn, hooks, needles and completed blankets are appreciated. Click this link for more information.
